The FA-235E is a surprisingly good-sounding acoustic-electric for the price. The flamed maple top gives it a crispness that cuts through, and the Fishman pickup makes it stage-ready. This is an excellent choice for beginner to intermediate players looking for a versatile instrument that looks sharp and sounds decent without emptying their wallet.
